What is a V/Q Scan (Both Lung Perfusion and Lung Ventilation) Test in Bangalore ?

A V/Q scan measures how well air reaches different parts of your lungs (ventilation) and how well blood flows through the lung tissue (perfusion). It looks for areas where air and blood flow do not match. This is important because mismatches can reduce oxygen delivery to the body. Doctors commonly use the test to check for pulmonary embolism and to evaluate unexplained shortness of breath. It is also used when CT scans are unsafe or unclear. Results help guide treatment decisions, such as blood thinners, further imaging, or surgery planning. The test is noninvasive and gives a clear picture of lung function.

V/Q Scan (Both Lung Perfusion and Lung Ventilation) Test Parameters in Bangalore

The V/Q Scan (Both Lung Perfusion and Lung Ventilation) test evaluates various parameters related to the different components. Here are the main parameters that are checked in the test:

  • Single test

Why Take a V/Q Scan (Both Lung Perfusion and Lung Ventilation) Test in Bangalore ?

V/Q Scan (Both Lung Perfusion and Lung Ventilation) is an imaging study used in the workup for suspected pulmonary embolism and other causes of unexplained breathlessness. Doctors order it when symptoms include sudden shortness of breath, chest pain, or low oxygen levels, or when CT scanning is not suitable. Abnormal results can come from blood clots, lung disease, or reduced blood flow. A family history of blood clotting disorders makes this test more important.

What is a VQ scan for ventilation perfusion in Bangalore?plus

A V/Q (ventilation–perfusion) scan is a nuclear medicine test that evaluates airflow and blood flow in the lungs. It uses a small inhaled radioactive gas or aerosol for ventilation images and an injected radiotracer for perfusion images. Comparing the two reveals mismatched areas that suggest pulmonary embolism. It’s noninvasive, relatively low‑radiation, and used when CT angiography is unsuitable.

What is perfusion and ventilation in the lungs in Bangalore?plus

Ventilation is the movement of air into and out of the lungs and alveoli, bringing oxygen in and removing carbon dioxide. Perfusion is the flow of blood through pulmonary capillaries around alveoli, delivering deoxygenated blood for gas exchange and carrying away oxygenated blood. Effective gas exchange requires matching ventilation and perfusion; mismatches reduce oxygen uptake and can cause low blood oxygen.

What is the cost of V Q scan in India in Bangalore?plus

In India, a V/Q (ventilation–perfusion) lung scan typically costs between ₹3,000 and ₹12,000. Prices vary by city and facility (government vs private), whether the radiotracer and report are included, and any hospital admission or additional imaging. Public hospitals may charge much less or offer subsidized rates; private and corporate centres generally charge higher fees.

What are the normal results of VQ scan in Bangalore?plus

A normal V/Q (ventilation–perfusion) scan shows uniform, matched ventilation and perfusion throughout both lungs with no segmental or larger perfusion defects or mismatched areas. Perfusion mirrors ventilation on imaging, indicating preserved blood flow and air distribution. This pattern carries a very low probability of pulmonary embolism and is considered a normal study.

How long does a ventilation perfusion scan take in Bangalore?plus

A ventilation–perfusion (V/Q) scan usually takes about 30–60 minutes for the imaging itself. The ventilation and perfusion phases each take roughly 15–30 minutes, with short waits between. Allow 1–2 hours for the whole appointment to include registration, explanations and any preparation. If you have limited mobility or breathing difficulty, discuss arrangements with the imaging department.

Which is the normal ventilation to perfusion v q ratio in Bangalore?plus

The normal ventilation–perfusion (V/Q) ratio is about 0.8 (approximately 4 L/min alveolar ventilation to 5 L/min pulmonary blood flow). This reflects overall matching in the healthy lung but varies regionally: the apex has a higher V/Q (~3.0) and the base a lower V/Q (~0.6) due to gravity-dependent differences in ventilation and perfusion.
